Truth to Teach (Source)
To encourage the children to spell and build words carefully to serve the reader of
their writing as well as to enable them to improve their reading
To hear, identify, separate and blend phonemes in words.
To recognise words which have common spelling patterns
To instil in the children the discipline of learning spellings for a weekly test
Way to Work (Means)
At least one, if not two lessons, should be devoted to phonic work each week as well as the
time allotted for spelling tests. The lists of spelling words for the various groups should be
displayed in a prominent place in the classroom. The words are given to the children to take
home to practise for one week but they are also reinforced in school through the use of
worksheets and/or other activities. The number of sounds each week and the number of
words given to each child will vary according to their ability. Harder words could be given to
extend the more able children.
A spelling test is given in a spelling book a week after the spellings were first introduced.
Most children should be able to correct misspelt words and reinforce them by writing them
out again at least once.
The page numbers refer to the above book but extra phonic sheets are also provided.
